“I mean, if the price is right. Of course,” Wilder said regarding a fight against Lesnar.

When asked who would win, the boxing champion gave his take.

“I win, of course. You know? I’ll go to the Octagon with him,” Wilder said with a laugh.

When questioned if he was serious, the boxing heavyweight champion came back with some questions of his own.

“Why wouldn’t I? Why would you think I wouldn’t?” Wilder questioned.

“Well, you know, and I’m also a talented fighter as well too when it comes to the UFC. I have friends that do it as well.”
